One of the really useful items handed out at the start if the match was the stage program. It was an outstanding document that was really helpful. It gave the course of fire, ranges and stage rules. I just want to thank Jake for putting it together. I wasn't the only one continually referring to...
I thought it was a great match. Well done to Jake and the RO's for creating and running a very fun match. I totally get that the MD had no choice but to call the match due to weather. I would be sorry to see the match moved back a few weeks. I like the fact that competitors are required to...

Thanks for all the responses. Btw the geovid hd b are indeed a great pair of range finding...
I'm pretty new to this long range unknown distance game and bought a pair of leica geovid hb b brf's. They're really great glass w tons of features. Including barometric pressure reading. Reading on this site introduced me to the idea of barometric vs station pressure. Not entirely sure of the...

What attracted us to this shooting discipline:
